We were playing a game of truth or dare at my friend’s site and knowing that they were like bloodhounds when it came to sniffing out the truth I mostly opted for a dare.
- They dared me to go to the lady in the next house who had moved in less than a day before and pretend that I was from the Heating and Air Conditioning dealer… My act had to be so convincing that the lady would let me inspect her a/c.
I rang the doorbell and the lady answered the door. I gave her my real name and told her that I was an air conditioner worker from the local condo services provider and we had received a call from someone who needed an air conditioner repair, but she said that I was earlier than they had told her and what she needed was Heating and Air Conditioning maintenance. As she took me toward her A/C system, she asked me how long I had worked in the industry. I was about to say ten years, but I quickly corrected myself and said seven months. She took me to the Heating and Air Conditioning component and told me that in the past month, the indoor air quality had changed pitfallly. She also wanted the air conditioner filter updated to help with indoor comfort. It was when I realized I had to come up with an escape plan, so I faked a call. I excused myself to acquire it and then went to tell her that my fellow Heating and Air Conditioning professional had called to say that he had given the wrong address. The homeowner of the new address wanted their thermostat serviced and their air duct sealed, and before I left, the lady told me that she entirely knew more about A/C and air duct than I did. I still have no idea how she figured out that I was a fake.
